10 CHANGE or VENUE
FOR "UNCLE JAKE" SHARPE,
THE BOODLER.
Judge Barrett Assigns his Reasons
for his Decision in q Lengthy
opinion.

New York, January I0.-Judee
Barrett, in the Supreme Court, today
denied the motion for q change of
venue in the case Of Jacob Sharpe, who
YVES indicted for bribing the doodle"
Aldermen to pass the Broad wsy rail-
road franchise. Judge Barrett as
signed this following reasons for his
decisions, in q lengthy opinion, in de.
nying the motion for a change of
venue in the tiial Of Jacob Sharpe: He
Gays that Sharpe leaves aside all other
grounds Of complaint and asks for the
change merely OIL the ground of i'm
proper publication. Counsel for Sharpe
withdrew the charges OF hostility in
Cured through strikers on the part of
his railroad employees. Judge Barrett
claims that no satisfactory effort is
made to s~ubstantiate the charge that a
fair trial cannot be lhad. The afida-
Wits offered are vague. II Ia true that
public journals have warmly discussed
the case and urged that Sharpe be
brought to trial and justice. They
have mainly, however, commented
upon his testimony before the Legis.
lative committee and his failure to &C.
countfor large Gums OF money, and also
for numerous securities. There is no
prttsnae that any direct evidence OF this
guilt has been published. The two men
already convicted were not charged
with bribery at the hands Of Sharpe,
but for having made a corrupt agree
ment with unknown person or per-
sons. In each case the press was
flooded with details of the testimony,
yet Jurors were obtained. The publi-
cations have had no material effect
upon the defendant's right. The Judge
says that there is nothing in the testi-
mony published to convict Sharpe and
bis Confreres with the crime, yet the
testimony may have aroused q suspi.
cion that brites have been offered.
But belief that a homicide has been
committed does not disqualify an
otherwise competent Juror from try.
ing n particularly accused, nor does
ii follow that certain accused Aldermen
having acted c~orTuptly make a Juror
incompetent. A change o! venue can
only he had when proof Of prejudiceis
presented. There is a distinction
between q personal attack and one in.
tended to defeat justice by violent
denunciation, and also deDunciation
in good faith, solely from high mo-
tivps Judge Barrett quotes numerous
authorities in support of his decision,
and Gays it may be necessary to have
a trial to show the necessity Of re-
moval. In a big city like New York
the sources to find s jury are varied.
II is not 30 easy to initiate the public
mind as in a smaller place. The press
of a great Getty teens with matter
which is more or less overlooked by a
large class Of readers which would set
a email villpge aflame. The conditions
required do not exist, the Judge con-
Guides, and the defendant has failed
to prove that they do exist The mo.
ton therefore must be denied.

Too Heavily Loaded.

Augusta Chronicle: At about noon yes
terday the steamboat Alice Clark left the
wharf for Savannah with 500 bales of COM
pressed cotton. The contracted cargo was
$50 bales, but the management of the boat,
fearing that she would be unable to get
through with that quantity, decided TO send
$50 bales to Bluehouse bar, two or three
miles down, 10y means Of lighters. But even
with 500 bales the steamer grounded and al
most before she left her moorings. The
officers had intended to back her to the
foot of Lincoln street and there
turn, but before reaching the desired point,
she struck on a bar, that had been washed
in by the recent floods, and refused TO bulge
another yard Every available means was
tried, but without success, and at midnight
she was still grounded, in about four feet of
water The Alice Clark, SO we are in
formed, will be purchased by other parties
Immediately on reaching Savannah, One
of her lighters, after being loaded at the
wharf with seventy-fivc bales, careened
and sank, but the cotton was quickly gotten
out, being damaged but slightly.

A competitive examination was held at
Mount Pleasant yesterday to fill the vacant
cadetship at the Citadel Academy from
Berkeley county. The applicants were first
examined physically by DIR. Royal, and
We're then subjected to a rigid examination
in arithmetic, geography, history and
grammar by Messrs Leland and Seabrook,
the questions being in accordance with a
printed formula prescribed by the board of
visitors Upon examining the papers it
was found that George Geraty had made
the best average, and he will therefore get
the appointment William Clements, who
passed the next best examination, will be
the alternate. Both are from Wadmalaw.
There is a serious change tor the worse in
the prospects of the long cotton crop on the
South Carolina sea islands. On James
Island the crops have been much injured by
the long continued dry spell. This caused
the pods to open prematurely and the yield
of cotton will, therefore, be from Is to 20
per cent. less than was expected. On Edisto
the dry spell has caused a heavy loss of the
top cotton, and it is calculated that the
crop will be little, if any, better than it was
last year. On Wadmalaw there is a similar
condition Of things. The top fruit of the
Cbbbpii klitlib iilR up no LSiCStSe III
cotton is much less than it was last year,
and it is feared that the crop per acre will
be less. The reports from Beaufort are of
the same character as from Edisto and
Wadmalaw.
